THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 152: WITHDRAWING FROM THE NORTHERN PROVINCE
On the other hand, the representative was greatly amazed at Herfu's observations. Before Myro won, Herfu knew Myro's plan and about Myro's victory. Therefore, Herfu dared to send all his troops against the enemy without hesitation. Had it not been the intelligence of Herfu, 70,000 enemy troops would have fled when they learned of the defeat of Fort Rulfes without giving Herfu a chance to attack them.
But now that Herfu and they were fighting face to face, as long as they escaped then Herfu along with his army was definitely chasing them.
Herfu stood up from his desk smiling "Tell the whole army to prepare, we'll be fighting in an hour! Don't give them a chance to go back to Fort Rulfes".
"Okay general!", cried the representative who left this place.
"Baron Myro is really a great person, I didn't misjudge! Now is the time to get the last big win" Herfu said confidently.
...----------------...
On the side of the camp of 70,000 troops of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom which now only has less than 60,000 troops, General Guliger who is the general of this army gathers all the officers of his army.
General Guliger stood in the middle of the meeting room while letting his deputy explain the situation to the other higher-ups.
"- So Rulfes Fortress has now fallen into the hands of the enemy, we are falling under siege from all sides by the Kingdom of Azeroth!", said the representative who had been explaining for approximately 20 minutes.
The faces of everyone in the room changed, they had heard of Guliger's deputy and knew that it was very bad.
As long as they were a team, they had never been in such a bad state.
On the front there were still more than 100,000 troops ready to attack them, on the back side there was a nobleman with approximately 10,000 troops.
Although 10,000 troops were a small army for them, but the enemy troops were assisted by Fort Rulfes which could not be won quickly.
As long as they were fighting Rulfes Fortress for too long, Herfu troops must have come from behind and attacked them which only meant death.
"What exactly did the guards of Fort Rulfes do? Why could they lose the fort in just less than a day?".
"That's right, the guards of Fort Rulfes were touted as elite troops, but I don't think they're that great".
"If the troops in Fort Rulfes could do their job better, our situation would definitely not be this bad!".
Everyone in the room became silent, they did not have a good idea because the situation was so bad that there was almost no hope.
Looking at everyone who was silent, Guliger would explode in anger. All these people in front of him were people who claimed to be the best military leaders in the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, then why did they now become silent.
Before Guliger got angry, a young man raised his hand "General, I have a suggestion!".
Everyone in the room stared at the young Orc in shock, who thought anyone could think of an idea in such a difficult situation. Not to mention the person who raised his hand was the young captain who had not gone to the battlefield often, many people doubted that such a young captain could make a good strategy.
Guliger doesn't believe that young captains who don't have a lot of war experience can make good strategies, but it never hurts to try because no one else dares to raise their hand "Tell me your plan! As long as your plan is indeed good and we return alive to the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, I will definitely give you a gift!".
"General, why don't we leave 30,000 troops here!", said the young general "Let 30,000 troops here to hold Herfu's forces, I'm sure if 30,000 troops are ready to fight to the death and use some of the cities we've taken as defense with the help of the city walls, they can stop the Herfu forces for at least 5 days. The general and approximately 30,000 other troops can return to the Orc-Goblin Kingdom to reclaim our territory taken by the enemy".
"With 10,000 Wolf Cavalry and 20,000 troops, I believe the general can take Rulfes Fortress in less than 5 days. As long as that happens, we can regain the territory of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom. This strategy might cause us to get a huge loss of 70,000 troops leaving, only 30,000 can return to the Orc-Goblin Kingdom. But it's still better than our whole army dying here! The general is the military leader of the Orc-Goblin Kingdom, if the general dies the military of the kingdom will also be in crisis. Therefore, the general's life is more important than the loss of 40,000 troops. Moreover, the general still had 30,000 troops returning to the kingdom together, of which 10,000 Wolf Cavalry also participated".
"With these 30,000 troops, even Herfu did not dare to attack the Orc-Goblin Kingdom".
Everyone in the room was silent, the young captain's plan was to sacrifice 30,000 soldiers so that 30,000 other soldiers could return to the Orc-Goblin Kingdom alive with Guliger.
But everyone in this room has to admit that the young captain's plans are the best for their current circumstances.
If Guliger and his 60,000 troops were all to die here, Azeroth Kingdom would definitely seize the entire Orc-Goblin Kingdom that had lost almost all of its military power.
But as long as Guliger and the 30,000 troops consisting of 10,000 Wolf Cavalry and 20,000 troops returned, the Azeroth Kingdom still did not dare to act recklessly.
Guliger also thought for a while before he could only sigh "It seems that this plan is the best for the present state, I will accept it. But there is still 1 problem here, who will lead the 30,000 troops who stay to die? If there were no higher-ups leading them, the team would have no fighting spirit. After all the leaders had already fled, why would they have to fight for the people who left them?".
Everyone in the room turned silent again, no one dared to come forward because they knew staying here only meant dying. As the higher-ups who had great power in the kingdom, who was interested in dying?
But the captain who suggested the plan stood up while saying with determination "General, I will stay here and lead the soldiers!".
